The University of Michigan's Hydrogen Initiative, MI Hydrogen, of which School of Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) professor Gregory Keoleian is co-director, will participate in a new regional clean energy hub funded by the US Department of Energy. Called the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2), the hub is a coalition of more than 70 public and private organizations in the Midwest that will focus on building a clean hydrogen economy and reducing emissions in several heavy-emitting sectors.
“The University of Michigan is excited to work with Northwestern, Argonne National Lab, Idaho National Lab, and industry partners from Michigan and other Midwest states to evaluate the environmental and economic performance of the MachH2 hub, which addresses areas that they are difficult to carbonize. economy,” said Gregory Keoleian, who, in addition to co-director of MI Hydrogen, is co-director of the Center for Sustainable Systems at SEAS, and the Peter M. Wege Endowed Professor of Sustainable Systems.
“Using life cycle assessment methods, we will analyze the carbon reduction benefits of developing hydrogen technologies and inform the scale and expansion of the hub to contribute to broader national climate policy goals,” added Keoleian.
